ABSTRACT:
A personal extraction cart for supporting and restraining a person to facilitate movement of that person from an extrication point, wherein the cart includes a frame having a support surface. The support surface has upper and lower faces and a leg support portion and a back support portion defining a longitudinal length with oppositely disposed longitudinal edges. The leg and back support portions have a use position in which the upper faces of each of those portions are angled relative to each other along the longitudinal length of the frame. Wheels are preferably attached below the support surface for facilitating movement of the cart in its transportation position. In a preferred embodiment, a pair of oppositely disposed roll shields are provided below the upper face of the support surface for facilitating rolling of the cart between an upright transportation position where the wheels are engaged for movement, and a loading position where the cart is at least partially supported along one of the longitudinal edges. In loading position, the cart can be placed next to a person in generally prone position to facilitate loading of that person onto the support surface of the cart. Thereafter, the cart is rolled to its upright or transportation position for easy movement on its wheels.
